Custom workspaces: Capture One allows you to drag, re-order, and show or hide different tools so you can completely customize your workflow.

Shadow and highlight recovery: Similarly, in tests, Capture One is capable of bringing out a little more detail when recovering shadows and highlights when compared to competitors.

Excellent noise reduction: Previous noise reduction tests have shown fewer artifacts and better results than other image editing programs.

This opens up a few more Photoshop-like edits that can be completed without leaving the program.

Layers: Unlike Lightroom, Capture One also includes layer-based editing.

But, for newcomers to Capture One, these are some of the biggest stand-outs that still carry over: We’ve applauded the photo editor’s features in the past, so I won’t re-invent the wheel. But of course, those new features build on the previously available tools that many photographers know and love. I didn’t like that skin tones looked less red, but slightly more green.ĭehaze, ProStandard, and Speed Edits - which I’ll talk about next - are some of the biggest new features to Capture One 21. This profile also removed a slight red tint to the brown dead leaves in the background. In one of the photos that I worked on, ProStandard created more accurate shadow tones. When comparing the default profile to ProStandard, the difference was very subtle but more true to life. Sorry, Fuji! Capture One claims that this RAW color profile creates more natural color renderings. But at the moment only Canon, Nikon, Sony, Phase One, and Leica cameras are getting support. Available for only a limited number of cameras at launch, more support is coming.

The update also adds ProStandard camera profiles.

Capture One 21 was a bit better even on auto, but excellent once adjusted for manual shadow tones.

I edited a golden hour backlit photo in both programs, and Lightroom left a very slight green tint in the background. Using manual shadow tone simply requires clicking on a darker area of the image with an eyedropper tool to correct any odd color tints. Sometimes, using the slider creates unnatural tones in the darker areas of the image. Dehaze can also add a little more blue into the skies and fix the lack of contrast created by lens flare.īut while the slider has the same function as Lightroom’s, Capture One 21 has a second control - the shadow tone. The tool is helpful for backlit images, as well as fog and, of course, haze. Like Lightroom’s tool by the same name, the Dehaze slider adds contrast, polarization, and clarity back into a flat image.

The biggest new tool coming to the December 2020 release is a Dehaze slider.
